- Employees who plan, build, commission and support hydrogen plants
- Professionals involved in the CE certification of hydrogen systems.
- Executives, technicians, trainers, project managers and product managers in companies where hydrogen technology plays a role
- technical consultants and engineering companies wishing to extend their scope of activity to the hydrogen sector
- strategic decision-makers of companies who want to get a clear overview of hydrogen technologies
Specialists with hydrogen training are now in demand!
The labor market demand for specialists with a degree or expert knowledge in the field of hydrogen technologies is high. That is why companies are intensively looking for personnel with relevant knowledge.
To counteract the shortage of skilled workers, employers are making use of our training courses and thus training hydrogen specialists within their own ranks.

Wasserstoff-Weiterbildung: Wählen Sie Ihre optimale Lernform
Our continuing education offering includes various forms and methods of learning to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
1. Classroom training (e.g. hydrogen seminar)
Should the training take place at your company? Then we will be happy to come to you after we have jointly determined the training topic and date.
The face-to-face event is particularly suitable if
- you have already conducted internal training courses on a number of occasions,
- a training room with appropriate equipment is available,
- the training is to be completed during a limited period of time (e.g. one-day seminar),
- a manageable number of employees are to be trained,
- an intensive exchange between participants and instructors is desired.
We are also available for a course. In contrast to a seminar, the course takes place over a longer period of time – i.e. learning in stages.
2. E-Learning
In e-learning (electronic learning), knowledge is imparted online or via digital media.
E-learning has the advantage that participants can learn independently of location and, as a rule, at flexible times.
This form of knowledge transfer is suitable if
- you want to train employees, sales partners or customers who are located at different sites (in parallel),
- the participants are to acquire the knowledge over a longer period of time in order to apply it in parallel in practice or in everyday work,
- several groups of employees are to be trained on different topics.
We offer various forms of e-learning:
Video courses:
The video courses are a combination of instructional videos (e.g., with exciting hydrogen experiments from our lab), accompanying training materials, and a final exam.
These are self-study courses that participants complete independently without instructor assistance. They are flexible in terms of time and can devote themselves to the course when it suits them best.
To illustrate this, here is a short video from our basic hydrogen course:
Online courses:
In our online courses, we place particular emphasis on the interaction of the participants. Experience has shown that this achieves particularly sustainable learning success.
With this form of training, participants are also flexible in terms of time and can acquire the learning material at their own pace.
Take a look at a course module:
Hydrogen webinar in the virtual classroom:
As with a face-to-face event, the training takes place on a fixed date, but as a location-independent webinar in a virtual room.
The participants and the instructor act via avatars in a virtual 3D learning and working world.
Take a look:
3. Blended-Learning
This form of knowledge transfer represents a combination of classroom and online learning.
Example: Teaching takes place by means of our online courses. In a subsequent face-to-face event, there is a consolidation of what has been learned and a direct exchange with the lecturers.
4. Customized trainings
Depending on your individual requirements and preferences, we can put together a customized offer (choice of topics, modules, language, form of knowledge transfer, certification) that allows you, for example, to train your employees, customers or partners efficiently and independently of location. Whether a crash course or comprehensive hydrogen training – we will find the right program for you.
Our maxim: exceed our customers’ expectations.
In our training programs, we place great emphasis on interaction, fun and entertainment in imparting knowledge. Experience has shown that this results in a lasting learning effect for the participants.
It fills us with pride and joy that companies repeatedly make use of our training offerings and cooperate with us on a long-term basis.

Hydrogen education nearby?
Depending on your location, continuing education and training on hydrogen may be very limited or non-existent.
Fortunately, location is no longer an obstacle to effective continuing education today. The solution: the e-learning presented above!
Not only home office, but also e-learning has experienced a rapid development boost due to the Corona pandemic and has now reached the masses.
Save costs with e-learning
With our e-learning training courses, you can expand your knowledge from the comfort of your own home or from anywhere else in the world. You save yourself long travel times and expensive costs for accommodation.
If you are a global company, you know this:
Branch employees and sales partners need regular training. For this purpose, they are brought to the head office. The costs for organization, travel, accommodation and meals are considerable.
Save yourself this huge expense! With our e-learning concepts, you can train a large number of people independent of location, worldwide and in parallel.
Hydrogen - the topic of the future
In conclusion, we would like to remind you once again of the current and future scope of hydrogen technologies:
Hydrogen – more topical than ever!
The climate protection necessitated by climate change is now prioritized by national and international political decision-makers.
In addition, the disputes between Russia and Ukraine have brought the extent of energy imports and dependence on fossil fuels unsparingly to the attention of the general public, e.g., through losses in supply security and painful price developments.
All these circumstances are exerting great pressure on the energy industry. For this reason, hydrogen technologies, which play a decisive role in the future energy supply, are also being pushed.
A global market worth billions
Currently, hydrogen as an energy carrier is used in particular in the chemical industry. Through continuous technology development, it will also be applied to truck, air and ship transport and in other areas of the gas industry.
Hydrogen (H2) will play a key role on the road to decarbonization and in achieving climate targets (e.g. by reducing CO2 emissions).
The German government has already adopted a national hydrogen strategy in 2020, including the goal of gaining market leadership in hydrogen technologies.
In Austria, a national hydrogen strategy was also agreed in 2022.
Hydrogen technology is also being promoted at EU level. But hydrogen is also gaining strongly in importance as an energy carrier internationally.
Many countries around the world, including major economies, have developed their own national hydrogen strategies. This is associated with far-reaching subsidies and grants.
A global market worth billions is opening up, creating new companies and jobs and also offering growth opportunities for established companies.
Be part of it! We support you with our training and consulting services on this forward-looking path.
